brg444 anybody here care for this dude Trace Mayer? never really bothered with him but thought he had couple of good insights in this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHXfEJD6DUk [01:20]
assbot Trace Mayer: "We need to remove the smell from bitcoin" - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1LBcoQ8 ) [01:20]
brg444 says there is supposedly a BTC exchange in Switzerland moving more BTC than all exchanges combined but staying on the low because of FATCA [01:21]
cazalla ooh that smell [01:21]
brg444 (obviously that would likely not include MPEX) [01:21]
cazalla brg444, obviously it's only smellz [01:22]
brg444 judging by the way he was going in on the lad likely the smell he refers to is Gavin :D [01:25]
brg444 about that, of course "there is nothing new in this world" but I thought this part was particularly lulzy : dude was having lunch with the power rangers (adam back, gmaxwell & gavin) and asked "why do we hire Bitcoin" to which Back & Maxwell replied "monetary sovereignty" and Gavin "because I feel warm and fuzzy when I make a payment".. smh [01:28]

brg444 cazalla, well he's wrong on a couple of things but I think it is a valuable service to remind everyone of why Bitcoin is there and how much money was wasted targeting broken business plans [01:38]
brg444 (although it does look funny in the light now considering he's an investor in Bitpay) [01:38]
brg444 I don't recall him pushing any service or company... [01:40]

mircea_popescu i mean, if you look at the top bet right now on the list (24-09-2015 Rejected Namibia Vs New Zealand) [19:43]

mircea_popescu going coupla months back or so. [19:45]
HostFat so is it possible to make new bets without writing any address? [19:46]
HostFat I could even used a multisig addresses, is it compatible with your script? [19:47]
mircea_popescu well it's also possible to send bitcoins to address 1qwertyuiop etc. bitbet doesn't have a ready way to know. [19:47]
